Craig Sager isn't letting his cancer diagnosis get in the way of
his job.

The TNT personality will reportedly cover two games next week:
the Wizards-Warriors matchup on Tuesday and the Rockets-Bulls game
on Thursday.

Sager revealed this week his leukemia had returned, and that
most people at his stage of cancer typically have 3-6 months to
live. However, Sager vowed to fight the cancer, and said he will
win his battle.

Sager was originally diagnosed with leukemia in April 2014, but
returned to the sidelines in March 2015 after the disease went into
remission. The cancer returned last spring, but went into remission
for a second time in October, which allowed Sager to cover the
2015-16 NBA season opener.

"I've already had two stem cell transplants. Very rarely does
somebody have a third," Sager told HBO's "Real Sports." "So I have
to maintain my strength, so I can go through this."
